HARDI® 12 VOLT ESTATE SPRAYER OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Dear Owner,
Thank you for purchasing a HARDI® product and welcome to the everincreasing family of HARDI® equipment owners.
Our sprayers and accessories are rapidly becoming a familiar sight on
North American farms and estates. We believe that this results from
growers becoming increasingly conscious of crop protection input costs
and the vital need for cost effective application equipment.
Please take the time to thoroughly read the Operator’s Manual before
using your equipment. You will find many helpful hints as well as
important safety and operation information.
Some of the features on your HARDI® Estate Sprayer were suggested
by growers. There is no substitute for “on farm” experience and we
invite your comments and suggestions.
Please address your correspondence to the Service Manager at one of

Plumbing Overview
When the 12 Volt FLOJET pump A (Fig 2) is on, fluid flows from the
tank to the distribution valves B (Fig 2). Fluid that is not required for
use by the boom or spraygun is returned to the tank through the
bypass line and agitation nozzle E (Fig 2). When the boom valve is
open, fluid flows to the boom D (Fig 2). When the spraygun valve is
open and the red handle on the spraygun is depressed, fluid flows to
the spraygun C (Fig 2). If the boom and spraygun valves are off and
the pressure valve is set too low to handle the output from the pump,
the safety valve F (Fig 2) opens to allow the fluid to return to the tank.

6.0 CALIBRATION
WARNING:
WATER ONLY! WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SUCH AS RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES AND COVERALLS.
Why must you calibrate a sprayer?
A nozzle selection chart will tell you what application rate you should
expect. Variations due to nozzle wear, errors in pressure adjustment,
and tractor speedometer can result in a large error in application rate.
How do you calibrate a sprayer?
Calibration kits are available from HARDI®, #818493 for U.S. Gallons
and #818492 for metric calibration. For accurate calibration, the
sprayer is driven a specific distance at spraying speed and the length
of time is recorded. The operator then measures the amount of water
sprayed from one nozzle at spraying pressure for the same length of
time noted. The amount of water sprayed provides a direct reading of
application rate. Slight adjustments are then made by varying the
pressure.
Here are some tips to remember when using the calibration kit method:
1. Calibrate with clean water only.
2. Follow the instructions in the calibration kit carefully.
3. Before calibration, check the flow of each nozzle. If it puts out more
than 10% of its original volume, replace it.
4. When determining the length of time required to drive a recommended distance, drive in actual field or lawn conditions with a half full
sprayer. Repeat the test several times, then take the average of the
times recorded.
5. Calibration of the sprayer should be completed at the beginning of
the season and repeated every 2 to 3 full days of spraying, and every
time you change volume rate or use different nozzles.
ALWAYS CALIBRATE YOUR SPRAYER WITH CLEAN
14
NOTE: A Calibration & Nozzles Manual (HARDI® ref. no. 67000103) is
available from your HARDI® dealer which contains more detailed
information for calibration and nozzle selection.
HARDI® 12 VOLT ESTATE SPRAYER OPERATOR’S MANUAL
6.1 Calibration (Ounce Method)
If you do not wish to use the calibration kit method, the following
method may be used. All you need is a tape measure, stop watch and
a container that accurately measures U.S. fluid ounces.
1. Fill the sprayer tank approximately half full with clean water.
2. Set up two stakes, 204 ft. apart in actual spraying conditions.
3. While driving at spraying speed, note the length of time required to
drive 204 ft. Repeat several times and take the average of the times
recorded.
4. With the sprayer operating at intended spraying pressure, collect the
output from one nozzle for the length of time determined in step 3.
The number of U.S. fluid ounces will exactly measure the application
rate.
e.g. 15 U.S. fluid ounces = 15 U.S. gallons per acre
NOTE: This method only works if the nozzle spacing is 20”.
For conversion to Imperial gallons per acre, multiply U.S. GPA x .833
For conversion to liters per hectare, multiply U.S. GPA x 9.34
For conversion to liters per acre, multiply U.S. GPA x 3.78
7.0 MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
before servicing is done to avoid unnecessary contact with chemicals.
In order to derive full benefit from the sprayer for many years, the
following few, but important rules should be followed.
7.1 Cleaning The Sprayer
Read the entire label of the chemical used. Take note of any particular
instructions regarding recommended protective clothing, deactivating
agents, etc. Read the detergent and deactivating agent labels. If
cleaning procedures are given, follow them closely.
Be familiar with local legislation regarding disposal of agricultural
chemicals, mandatory decontamination methods, etc. Contact the
appropriate office, e.g. Department of Agriculture.
HARDI® 12 VOLT ESTATE SPRAYER OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Always clean the boom at the end of your workday or
15
7.1 Cleaning The Sprayer (cont.)
Cleaning starts with calibration as a well calibrated sprayer will ensure
the minimal amount of remaining spray liquid. It is a good practice to
clean the sprayer immediately after use thereby rendering the sprayer
safe and ready for the next application. This also prolongs the life of
the components.
It is sometimes necessary to leave the spray liquid in the tank for short
periods of time (e.g. overnight), or until the weather becomes suitable
for spraying again. Unauthorized persons and animals must not have
access to the sprayer under these circumstances.
Cleaning
1. Dilute the remaining spray liquid in the tank with at least 10 parts
water and spray the liquid out into the field or lawn you have just
sprayed.
2. Select and use the appropriate protective clothing. Select detergent
suitable for cleaning and suitable deactivation agents if necessary.
3. Rinse and clean sprayer and tractor externally. Use detergent if
necessary.
4. Remove all filters and clean them. Be careful not to damage the
mesh. Replace filters when the sprayer is completely clean.
5. With the pump running, rinse the inside of the tank. Remember the
tank roof. Rinse and operate all components and any equipment that
has been in contact with the chemical.
6. After spraying the liquid out again in the field or lawn, stop the pump
and fill at least 1/5 of the tank with clean water. Note that some
chemicals require the tank to be completely filled. Add appropriate
detergent and/or deactivating agent, e.g. Washing soda or Triple
ammonia.
16
NOTE: If a cleaning procedure is given on the chemical label, follow it
closely.
7. Start the pump and operate all controls enabling the liquid to come
in contact with all the components. Leave the distribution valves until
last. Some detergents and deactivating agents work best if left in the
tank for a short period. Check the label.
8. Drain the tank and let the pump run dry. Rinse inside of tank, again
letting the pump run dry.
HARDI® 12 VOLT ESTATE SPRAYER OPERATOR’S MANUAL
9. Stop the pump. If the chemicals used have a tendency to block
nozzles, remove and clean them now.
10. Replace all filters and nozzles and store the sprayer. If, from
previous experiences, it is noted that the solvents in the chemicals
are particularly aggressive, store the sprayer with the tank lid open.
NOTE: If the sprayer is cleaned with a high pressure cleaner, we
recommend lubrication of the entire machine.
7.2 Lubrication
Every 40 hours new grease should be applied to the breakaway on the
boom. For easier application of grease, place the boom wing in the
breakaway position.

7.3 Pump Maintenance
To disassemble pump head assembly, remove two screws A (Fig. 5)
at front of pump. Rotate bearing cover so access notch is aligned with
cam/bearing set screw on motor shaft. Loosen set screw with 1/8” allen
wrench and slide pump head off motor shaft.
To install replacement pump head, coat motor shaft with grease prior
to assembly. Slide cam/bearing assembly over motor shaft. Align set
screw with dimple in motor shaft and tighten securely. Set screw must
center in shaft dimple for correct cam position, otherwise diaphragm
may be damaged. Rotate pump head to original position. Install top
and bottom screws A (Fig. 5) and tighten.
Operate pump to make sure flow and motor speed are normal. If
operation is noisy, flow is down or pressure is low, recheck cam/
bearing set screw to make sure it is centered in the shaft dimple (See
Section 11.0, page 23 for FLOJET PUMP BREAKDOWN).

8.0 STORAGE
When the spraying season is over, you should devote some extra time
to the sprayer. If chemical residues are left over in the sprayer for long
periods, it can reduce the life of the individual components. To
preserve the sprayer and protect the components, carry out the
following off-season storage program:
HARDI® 12 VOLT ESTATE SPRAYER OPERATOR’S MANUAL
1. Clean the sprayer completely - inside and outside - as described in
Section 7.1 “Cleaning The Sprayer“. Make sure that all valves,
hoses and auxiliary equipment have been cleaned with detergent
and flushed with clean water afterwards, so no chemical residues
are left in the sprayer.
2. Replace any damaged seals and repair any leaks.
3. Empty the sprayer completely and let the pump work for a few
minutes. Operate all valves and handles to drain as much water out
of the spraying circuit as possible. Let the pump run until air is
coming out of all nozzles.
4. Fill the tank with 3 - 5 gallons of an ethylene glycol base anti-freeze
mixture at the ratio for the desired temperature protection. Run the
pump and circulate the anti-freeze through the distribution valves
and boom lines. Spray the handgun into the tank until anti-freeze
sprays out to make sure the line is full of anti-freeze.
NOTE: Never use diesel fuel in a sprayer.
5. When the sprayer is dry, remove rust from any scratches in the paint
and touch up the paint.
6. Lubricate the boom (Section 7.2).
7. Remove the glycerine-filled pressure gauge and store in a vertical
position in a frost-free environment.
8. Store the electric wires, switch and inline fuse in a dry plastic bag to
protect them against moisture, dirt, and corrosion.
9. To protect against dust, the sprayer can be covered by a tarpaulin.
Ensure ventilation to prevent condensation.
8.1 Preparation After Storage
After a storage period, the sprayer should be prepared for the next
season in the following way:
1. Remove the cover (If fitted).
2. Fit the pressure gauge again. Seal with Teflon tape.
3. Connect the sprayer to the tow vehicle (Section 3.0).
4. Empty the remaining antifreeze into an approved container.
5. Rinse the entire liquid circuit on the sprayer with clean water. Don’t
forget to flush the boom and handgun lines also.
6. Fill with clean water and check all functions (Section 4.0).
